The humble bolt-action rifle is widespread across
Alyeska, found in the hands of hunters, prospectors and soldiers alike. The most common type found is the Commonwealth's Lloyds-Edwards No.5 Rifle, typically as war surplus.

The Self-Loading Rifle, or SLR for short, is
a newly introduced semi-automatic rifle used by the Commonwealth military. It
is rare to see this weapon outside of the Wulflands, though a few examples have
found their way onto the black market and fetch a small fortune.

A gyro-carrier is a larger version of a
gyrocopter built to carry passengers or cargo, whilst not able to carry as much
as a true cargo plane it does have the advantage of being able to land almost
anywhere.

Part-truck and part-tank, the Mule is a
heavy and lumbering vehicle built to haul cargo over rough terrain.

It is not uncommon to see a convoy of a dozen or more Mules trudging their way
across the great sand seas of the southern wastes or the ice fields of Alyeska.
As a rugged and relatively simple vehicle it is well liked, certainly the
lumber and mining companies of Alyeska have a few of them on hand and any
serious prospector has at least one. Whilst nor particularly fast, the Mule's
wide width and tracks mean it can handle a wide variety of terrain whilst
carrying different loads.

Alyeska is a land of few luxuries and forces
people to take gear that’s more for being practical than anything else. This
even extends to the motor vehicles present in these northern climes, for those
who can’t afford a Mule Tracked Cargo Carrier then the humble truck is more
than enough.
